judgeman6970 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Finally decided on tires/sizes for my '11 SVT GT500, and got them mounted/balanced this week. Went with something a little different, 275/40's all around, 19" fronts & 20" rears. May not be everyone's taste, but for me, it worked out perfectly. Front & rear fender gaps, sidewall heights, clearances and overall ride quality are all just the way I like them. Not sure how they will "hook-up", but they should be on par with the 285 goodyears, and either way, I'm not really much of a street-racer anyway.....

gotoatz Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Personally, I love it. I like the looks of having the taller sidewall!! I did my 2005 with 275's and 295's, in 20 inch and love the stance, and the fact that I actually have sidewall..... Very nice, IMHO......

TurboGT Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Love the look. This what i'm going with on my '08 for the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judgeman6970 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks guys. I was little concerned about going up 3/4" in the rear tire diameter, but it seems to look "correct" for the car. It fills the wheelwell & hasnt given me any problem with the abs light. And best of all is the ride...smooth & quiet, but still firm & planted to the road...100% satisfied...

mitch994 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi Judgeman, I have a 2012 SVTP that I need to make a rubber change on. Did you just mount those new tires to the exact same rims without modification? I think I have the same rims and would love to find a solution to just mount that size rubber without having to change offsets or rim width. Thanks, Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I just mounted these tires to the stock svtpp rims. They actually fit better than oem because all 4 rims are 9.5" wide & the tires are the same width(275) all around. Clearance is no problem, even in the rear with the extra height. The only issue is finding a tire you like that offers these sizes(Hankook, General, and bfg maybe??). I went with the hankook evo's...
